Wekiva Youth Camp is a residential nature camp for 3rd through 8th graders, sponsored by the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs (FFGC) with the purpose of instilling a love and respect for the "Real" Florida in our youth, as well as a knowledge of nature, the importance of conservation and the protection of our environment.

Learn about the fish and other inhabitants of our near-shore reef through a presentation and discussion. After the program is over, participants will be instructed where to snorkel in the park. Bring your own snorkel equipment. A diver-down flag is required for snorkeling activities in the park and can be rented daily at the Beach Outfitters and Gift Shop. For more information and reservations, call the Nature Center at (561)624-6952. Free with park admission.

Join us for a few hours of sun and surf and help keep MacArthur Beach State Park clean.

Please bring a reusable water bottle, hat and sunscreen. Community service hours will be given to students upon request. Free entry into the park if assisting with the event.
